How to throw a pot

This is a demonstration on how to throw a simple pot on a potter's wheel. I made this video for an assignment in my technical writing class for which we had to write a manual instructing someone how to do something.

no bat?

Well, its only 1 lb of clay, so unless I make the bottom too thin, its not hard to get it off the wheel.

I have a ceramics class right now and ive had my first throwing lesson, my teacher told me to watch videos on youtube, you make it look so easy. I would like to see your writing assignment.

Interesting way of centering. I'm new to ceramics and I've never seen it done that way before.

Good fundamentals. You seem to wanna throw a lil dry and you were fighting it when you were pulling the walls. Good job.
